Subclaims¶

q3 i? Mood was significantly lower after exclusion than inclusion overall, and this effect did not differ between the three age groups. → Fuhrmann D. 2019

Fuhrmann D., Casey C.S., Speekenbrink M., Blakemore S.-J. (2019). Social exclusion affects working memory performance in young adolescent girls. Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dcn.2019.100718

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Linear mixed-model analysis of mood questionnaire ratings after each Cyberball condition in the 98-participant experiment. "Mood was lower after exclusion (M = 2.49, SE = 0.08) compared to inclusion (M = 3.97, SE = 0.08)" with no age-group difference (χ2(2) = 0.53, p = 0.765); no effect size was printed.

"There was a significant main effect of Cyberball condition on mood (χ2(1) = 212.04, p < 0.001). Mood was lower after exclusion (M = 2.49, SE = 0.08) compared to inclusion (M = 3.97, SE = 0.08) overall. This effect did not differ between age groups (χ2(2) = 0.53, p = 0.765)"

• Social exclusion shows no significant effect on n-back response times in any age group
• Social exclusion has no significant effect on visuo-spatial dot-matrix working memory accuracy in any age group
• Mood changes do not moderate the effect of exclusion on working memory performance — related
